OVH HG Servers Chosen by YetiForce

YetiForce wanted to design a hyperscale cloud infrastructure to host business-critical applications, in order to offer a hosted version of its YetiForce CRM software. After looking to such conventional solutions as shared hosting, YetiForce eventually decided to build its own private cloud so it benefits from a powerful processor and fast-access storage – all required to run its 800 database tables – as well as optimum security for client data handled by its application.

Though many private cloud solutions are available on the market, YetiForce chose to create its own custom solution using OVH HG servers.

“As we were looking for the perfect solution, we evaluated offerings from AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google. We selected OVH because OVH provided the best price-performance ratio. Moreover, leveraging high-end components ensures that we get the best quality,” explained Błażej Pabiszczak, CEO of YetiForce.
